EV charging software for dealerships
Inventory always charged. Every user group managed. Flipturn handles access, billing, and monitoring for dealerships at any scale.
Inventory always charged and ready
Flipturn monitors every charger in real time and alerts your team the moment something goes wrong, so issues are resolved before they affect a test drive or vehicle handoff.
Real-time charger status
See every port across every site at a glance: charging status, current power draw, session progress, and recent error count. If something is wrong, it is visible before a customer notices.
Automated alerts
Flipturn notifies your team by email and SMS the moment a fault is detected, a charger loses connectivity, or a session ends unexpectedly. No dashboard monitoring required.
Remote charger control
Reboot chargers, clear faults, start and stop sessions, and push configuration changes from the dashboard, without a site visit. Most issues are resolved in under 15 minutes.
Customer spotlight
Audi Marin
To meet growing demand for EVs, Audi Marin upgraded its charging infrastructure and installed new Siemens and Samsung chargers. However, hardware alone wasn’t enough. The dealership needed a way to manage charger access across different user groups: customers, employees, and service staff. That’s where Flipturn came in.

Manage charger access across every user group
Flipturn lets you set different access rules and pricing for each user group from a single dashboard, without RFID cards or IT involvement.
Flexible access rules per charger
Set service lane chargers to free-vend, configure customer-facing chargers with phone-based payment, and restrict your DCFC to specific groups. Multiple plans can run on the same charger simultaneously, each with its own rules and pricing.
No app required for customers
Customers scan a QR code and authenticate with a phone number or email. No app download, no account creation, no friction at the point of sale or vehicle handoff.
Idle detection and driver notifications
Flipturn identifies sessions where a vehicle is connected but no longer charging, and notifies drivers automatically. Idle fees can be applied to priority chargers to protect availability without requiring a staff member to manage the lot.
Session-level access log
Every session is recorded with driver identity, charger, plan, and authentication method. Exportable for internal cost allocation, so service lane charging can be attributed to the right job without manual tracking.
“Flipturn gives us the control and flexibility we need to keep our chargers running smoothly and available when we need them. It’s a night-and-day difference to our previous EV charger management setup.”

More EV chargers without electrical upgrades
Flipturn's load management distributes available power across every active charger in real time, so you can deploy more chargers on your existing infrastructure without utility upgrades or panel work.
Dynamic load balancing
Flipturn continuously monitors available site capacity and redistributes power across active chargers in real time, keeping total site draw within your electrical threshold at all times. More chargers, same infrastructure.
Peak demand management
Site power limits are enforced continuously, not just during scheduled windows. Demand spikes are prevented at the source, keeping demand charge costs consistently low regardless of how many vehicles are charging at once.
Time-of-use optimization
Flipturn automatically shifts charging load to the cheapest available rate windows based on your utility's schedule. For a dealership running chargers across a full operating day, this reduces the per-session electricity cost without any manual scheduling.
Resolve issues before they become patterns
Flipturn gives your team the diagnostic depth to distinguish a one-off fault from a recurring hardware problem, and the tools to act on either before availability is affected.
AI-powered health reports
Flip, Flipturn's AI agent, analyzes charging session data across your network, surfaces the issues that matter, and delivers a daily digest with recommended actions. Your team goes from reactive troubleshooting to knowing about problems before they affect vehicle availability.
Recurring fault detection
Flipturn flags chargers with repeating faults before they become an availability problem. If the same unit keeps failing, your team knows to escalate it rather than reset it again.
Remote diagnostics
When a fault occurs, your team gets the full diagnostic context immediately. Most issues are resolved remotely in under 15 minutes without dispatching a technician or pulling someone from the floor.
One platform. Any hardware.
Flipturn runs on OCPP, the open standard supported by every major charger manufacturer. That means you can manage Siemens, Samsung, ABB, or any other brand from one platform, add chargers as your lot grows, and replace underperforming units without switching software.

Frequently asked questions
What is dealership EV charging management software?
Dealership EV charging management software lets your team monitor charger status, control who can access each charger, manage energy costs, and resolve issues remotely. Flipturn handles all of this from a single platform, across every charger on your lot.
How do dealerships manage EV chargers for different user groups?
Flipturn lets you set different access rules per charger. Service lane chargers can run in free-vend mode for your technicians, public chargers can require payment, and employee chargers can be restricted by access group. All of this is configured from the Flipturn dashboard without RFID hardware.
Do customers need to download an app to use a charger at a dealership?
No. Flipturn supports app-free charging via phone-based authentication. Customers plug in and tap their phone to start a session, with no account creation required.
How does Flipturn help dealerships meet OEM charging requirements?
Flipturn works with any OCPP-compatible charger, so you can deploy the hardware your OEM requires and manage it through Flipturn's platform. Load balancing lets you install more chargers without electrical upgrades, which helps dealerships meet OEM minimum requirements within their existing site constraints.
Can Flipturn prevent high demand charges from EV charging at a dealership?
Yes. Flipturn's load management automatically distributes power across chargers to stay within your site's capacity limits, preventing demand charge spikes on your electricity bill.
How does Flipturn keep inventory charged and ready for test drives?
Flipturn monitors every charger in real time and sends immediate alerts when a unit goes offline or a session fails. Flip, Flipturn's AI agent, also sends a daily health digest so your team can identify and resolve issues before they affect vehicle availability.
Does Flipturn work with any EV charger brand?
Yes. Flipturn is hardware-agnostic and runs on OCPP 1.6J and OCPP 2.0.1. It works with Siemens, Samsung, ABB, and every other major manufacturer, so you are not locked into a single hardware vendor.
Does Flipturn support multi-location dealer groups?
Yes. Flipturn provides a single dashboard view across every site in your portfolio, with role-based access controls so regional managers and individual location teams each see what they need.
